The history of the Winnipeg Jets from Wikipedia.

The Winnipeg Jets are a professional ice hockey team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL). The team is owned by True North Sports & Entertainment, which relocated and re-named the former Atlanta Thrashers franchise prior to the 2011–12 NHL season (the first NHL franchise relocation since the Hartford Whalers became the Carolina Hurricanes in 1997).

The team plays its home games at the MTS Centre, and take their name after Winnipeg's original WHA/NHL team (which relocated in 1996 to become the Phoenix Coyotes).

The City of Atlanta was awarded an NHL expansion franchise, named the Atlanta Thrashers, on June 25, 1997. It was the second NHL franchise for Atlanta (their first being the Atlanta Flames, established in 1972, who departed for Calgary in 1980 to become the Calgary Flames). The Thrashers began play in the 1999–2000 season.

In their 12 years, the Thrashers qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs only once, during the 2006–07 season, and never won a playoff game. Partially due to their lack of playoff success, the team had difficulty drawing fans to attend their games over their final seasons.

As early as in October 2009, there were rumours that True North Sports & Entertainment, the company which owns both Winnipeg's MTS Centre and the American Hockey League (AHL)'s Manitoba Moose, was purchasing the Atlanta Thrashers with the intention of moving the team to Winnipeg. True North's chairman, Mark Chipman, was on very good terms with NHL owners. On November 27, 2010, Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly conducted an exclusive interview with The Illegal Curve Hockey Show on Sports Radio 1290 (now TSN Radio 1290) in Winnipeg and officially brought the Atlanta Thrashers into the conversation. True North had also bid on the Phoenix Coyotes, with the intent of returning the franchise to Winnipeg. Although they were unsuccessful, their approach was praised by Bettman, and so True North received favour from the league when the question of the Thrashers' relocation came up.
